Lightweight, backcountry pill organizer

[MaxxiD]

Hi there,

Just curious what people are using to organise their meds in the backcountry?

I guess I am getting to that she now where I have multiple medication and supplements to take daily haha

I know a lot of people will just use a Ziploc bag, but I am looking for something more durable and hopefully with compartments to seperate my pills. Some of them look pretty similar.

Bare in mind, I am in Canada, so I my Amazon options are probably limited compared to my Southern neighbors.

TIA

I keep my Tylenol, IB, Imodium, etc in there and it works well. I am sure their is many options and sizes to choose from. This one I have used for two years worth of hunting trips without issue. Best of luck

I use tiny ziploc bags inside a small ziplock

I was hoping that someone would have a silver bullet solution for this problem. I may be overthinking it. I just ordered this one

Amazon.ca

I use the tiny ziplock bags from the dollar store for daily fish oil/multivitamins. I pack my food in freezer bags for each day so I just drop a pack in each days food.

Tony ziplock bags as others stated. Got them on Amazon. I also put Gatorade powder in them.

Do you have a vacuum sealer? The wife places each day in the bag and seals each day individually just like the cardboard packs you see at nursing facilities. I have a whole weeks med in one bag individually sealed, just cut it open. Very small and condensed.

i found a small pill box like this at walmart that had compartments top and bottom. very handy.

a bud used aluminum foil to wrap each day up and stuck them in a zip loc.

The Gatorade idea is money! Those single servers are so expensive!

I buy "pill bags" off Amazon, which are exactly what they sound like - the tiny ziplocs you'd expect a drug dealer to use But they weigh almost nothing, each holds any combo of pills I need, and they have a writeable area so you can label them with a Sharpie.

I bag my "daily" items such that it's one bag per day. Brainless. I keep those in a separate location from my medical kit to avoid confusion.

In my medical kit, I keep items together (each to its own baggie). I carry:
Caffeine - in an emergency, alertness can be just as critical as anything else
Sugar tablets - for a diabetic hunting partner, just in case
Benadryl
Aspirin
2x Vicodin for broken-ankle emergencies
Gas-X for Mountain-House triggered emergencies (hey, it can ruin a hunt)
Zofran (anti-nausea)
Nyquil Nighttime

My med kit has an index card in it reminding folks what each is for in case it's not me opening the bag.

I would bet all the baggies add less than 0.5oz to the total. They're so light you have to weigh them in piles of 10 to register. They come in different sizes but the ones I have are like 0.5g apiece.

Caffeine tablets are a great idea. I'll pick some up.

Here in Canada we don't get over-the-counter antibiotics. That's one thing I wish I could pack with me

Yep. Like $0.21/ounce vs $0.71 on Amazon.
